What even is my life?!
Sometimes I feel like this shit has got to be scripted because it just makes no sense to me that this is actually my life. Like how? How am I simultaneously going through horrendously horrible stuff, but also jaw droppingly amazing things are happening? Could I just have normal for a while??
Haven't been on tumblr for months. Suddenly got an influx of followers cos of that vegan jokes post. Hi, new followers..!
*Waves awkwardly*
Guys, I'm going back to The Gambia in 17 days and I really need to be able to build a wall around the project base for security. My charity Hadamayaa works with women and girls, promoting education and employment and we can't do much without the safety of a walled premises. I have 17 days to find ÂŁ436. That works out at just ÂŁ26 a day. Please give anything you can spare, it really will help so much.

Even if you can't donate, please reblog this because someone else might be able to.
Thank you.
I have 24 days to find ÂŁ639 to build the wall around the education centre and orphanage base in The Gambia. That works out at around ÂŁ27 ($40) each day. Can you spare the cost of your morning coffee??

THANK YOU!!
Hadamayaa desperately needs a secure perimeter wall around the education base in Tujereng. We would LOVE to be able to build this in August when Becky returns to The Gambia. That gives us just 30 days to raise the money. 166m of wall have been sponsored, leaving 234m left to sponsor. Can you give ÂŁ4.50 to sponsor a metre of wall? Sponsor 10m for ÂŁ45 and your name will be written into the wall as a permanent thank you for supporting Hadamayaa. Donate through PayPal to [email protected] or message me if you would rather send a bank transfer and I will give you the information you need. If you can't afford to donate right now, please still help us by reblogging this post. Thank you. Visit the website to find out more about what we do.
Today I made an unexpected visit to an activity farm, and it was the best day to be wearing my "Eat Veggies, Not Friends" tshirt which features pictures of farm animals. Spent a lot of time cuddling goats and chickens. A woman thought I worked there, because I was sat in the dirt with a goat cuddling up to me!
Just 32 days until I return to The Gambia to undertake more work for Hadamayaa. It would be so amazing if we could build the security wall while I am there! You can help out - for just ÂŁ4.50 you can sponsor a metre of perimeter wall. Sponsor 10 metres for ÂŁ45 and your name will be engraved into a brick as a permanent thank you! Donate through Paypal to [email protected] or message me for Hadamayaa's bank details to complete a bank transfer. Please reblog this post, you would be surprised at how many donations Hadamayaa receives from your generous followers!

People look at me as a vegan and conclude that since I stepped on a snail or because the vegetables I eat resulted in a tractor death for a squirrel somewhere in Paraguay that somehow vegans are hypocrites, which of course theyâre not since perfection is an unattainable goal and is something to be driven towards, never actually achieved. The difference between you and the vegan standing next to you is that while youâre both going to step on a bug tomorrow, theyâve decided to dedicate their lives to as little harm as possible, completely independent from what you do. So in no way does the protozoan life form they step on negate your responsibility for the lamb youâre paying a stranger to cut tomorrow. And falling 1% short of an unattainable goal is really good when youâre standing next to someone who wonât even try.

iâm actually now convinced that everyone can be turned vegan. if you met my brother youâd understand how surprising this really is.
Although I often say that the greatest strength of veganism is that it does not require much intelligence to practice, the truth is that Iâve met a lot of people who are too stupid to ever become vegan or vegetarian âand Iâve met a lot of people with PhDs who fall into that category as well.
I have trouble being optimistic because of the general collapse of Bronze Age Virtues; while that is a good thing in many ways (e.g., declining numbers of people fighting duels to the death over a broken oath) it entails that the vast majority of people do not think in ethical terms at all, and are really unable to scrutinize the world or their own motives in that way. They live lives that are neither good nor evil, but entirely devoted to self-indulgence.
Although I played video games as a child, I did not think I would grow up to be a part of a world in which adult men played video games.
Bolded for truth.
Advice (Veganism vs. Fatalism).
Dear Tess,
Thank you for writing in with your concern to the vegans of Tumblr. I hope you donât mind me calling you Tess, rather than by your screen-name, âleader of the free whoresâ.
leader-of-the-free-whores:
âPeople have been eating animals for thousands of years. Dont make people feel bad about eating animals it is what humans were MEANT to do.â
What you really need to think about here, Tess, is the meaning of the word âmeantâ. In the western world, weâve been encouraged to think in terms of a vague sense of fate meaning for things to happen âand weâve also had this doctrine of the will of god taught to us in terms that are much less vague. Do you mean that itâs the will of god for us to eat meat? If so, the text of both the Old Testament and the Quran agree with you, but I donât âand I do recognize that veganism is turning the assumptions of the ancient religions upside-down (Buddhism included, as a matter of fact).
The trouble is that many people have lost their faith in god, and profess no belief in fate, yet continue to speak in these vague terms about what people âwere meantâ to do. Who is it that is âmeaningâ this? Whose intention are we talking about?
Well, for thousands of years people had no access to dentistry. Is it therefore the case that humans were meant to endure horrendous pain every time they have a problem with their teeth? Should we refuse all dentistry out of an obligation to preserving the ways of our ancestors of many thousands of years ago?
A small number of people might answer yes, but the vast majority take the opposite course: we seek every miserable advantage over nature that our cunning allows us âand most people in the decadent west wonât endure a tooth-ache for 5 minutes before getting some kind of drug or medical attention to alleviate it.
Frankly, my point here isnât to endorse one option or the other (you have the legal right to refuse dentistry, and, perhaps, the moral right as well) but to point out the meaninglessness of âmeaningâ in the sense that youâve used it here. If human beings were âmeantâ to endure terrible pain in their teeth⊠so what?
It may have been impossible for people living in another time (and another place) to be vegan; however, it is not impossible for me, here and now. Access to dentistry, likewise, was impossible for most people, for most of history, over most of the world. If it is good, if it is effective, if it benefits myself and others, why should I refuse it here and now?
Youâre going to read a lot of substantive arguments in favor of veganism if you look around the internet (and, yes, Youtube has them in propaganda-reel format) âbut Iâm not trying to repeat any of those arguments here. Iâm just answering the specific argument that youâve made against veganism.
Veganism doesnât solve all the worldâs problems, and neither does dentistry. However, veganism does solve some important problems, and, remarkably, it causes none.
